While the author of this blog was growing up, Adolf Hitler repeated lies to where the public believed them. What Hitler had done less than 70 years ago, White House politicians today have vastly expanded on this tactic, with support from large segments of the broadcast and print media—some of which have been on the secret payroll of the CIA and other government offices for years. That practice has blossomed not only for the arrogant invasion of Iraq, but also about freedom in the United States.

A few examples that freedom is quite different from what is repeatedly proclaimed as White House politicians seek to change governments throughout the world for the past 50 years:

·   The United States imprisons a greater percentage, or a greater number, of people than any other country.

·   Hundreds, if not thousands, of laws exist to imprison people in the United States, for some of the most minute matters, and often matters that were legal before U.S. politicians started enacting laws to put more people in prison.

·   Prosecutors routinely pay or reward people to testify falsely against defendants, thereby improving the conviction rate, their reputation, and sometimes their pay.

·   Peoples’ assets are seized without cause, without a person being charged, or having been found innocent, and not returned.

·   Para-military police actions invading homes is common.

·   Misusing the law, or government power, to silence the few courageous people, including government personnel, who seek to expose corruption of key government officials or corrupt and covert government operations.

·   Praising military personnel and military veterans while inflicting great harm upon them. For instance, prisoners of war that were abandoned after invading Korea and Vietnam; sending assassination squads after defecting military personnel who rebelled against the invasions orchestrated by White House politicians; retaliating against military personnel who seek to report such criminal acts as drug smuggling by the CIA with the help of military personnel; and much more.

·   For instance, highly decorated military helicopter pilot Richard Taus, languishing in a state prison where he will probably die, due to sham charges filed against him, to silence him. He was an FBI agent working under FBI supervisory agent Lindley DeVecchio, who discovered corrupt activities in the FBI and CIA, and when ordered to remain quiet, foolishly notified members of Congress. (It is interesting that the Brooklyn district attorney had indicted, in early 2006, retired FBI Supervisory Agent DeVecchio for multiple murders committed with Mafia boss Gregory Scarpa.)

·   Former federal agent Rodney Stich, who sought to report the corruption in the FAA, CIA, and FBI, that was responsible for the conditions that enabled 19 terrorists to hijack four airliners on 9/11. He continues to be targeted by CIA-front law firms, California and federal judges, and DOJ personnel, seeking to halt exposure of the yet-to-be-exposed biggest corruption scandal associated with 9/11.

Evidence of these selective taking of freedom can be found in such books as Defrauding America; Drugging America; and FBI, CIA, the Mob, and Treachery, and at the defraudingamerica Internet site.
